He looked about the same body type as Keaton which made me nervous. I stepped back as Keaton pushed me more and more as he backed up, with me still pushed behind him. Zazu seemed very upset, more than upset actually.

He was furious.

It was obvious.

His head tilted to the side as he tried to look past Keaton to get his eyes on me. Once he did get a look at me, his eyes locked on my face then roamed down my body. What did he want from me? Keaton was the one he wanted right?

"You aren't married yet." Zazu said, looking down at my left hand.

"We're getting married in less than a month." Keaton snapped feircly. 

"Yes, I can see that." Zazu hissed calmly.

"See that?" I questioned. 

"Aubrey don't talk." Keaton warned.

Zazu's face shot right over to me as I spoke. My voice seemed to set him off into some kind of frienzy as he studied me carefully. He took a few steps closer as Keaton growled angerly in his face, warning him to stay away from me.

"Some wolfs have special, lets say powers. I can hear what you're all thinking, and my wife, Julia, she sees the future. She warned me before I arrived." Zazu said, not breaking eye contact with me.

"You should leave, before I call Tony and Nate home." Keaton snarled.

"Yes, I should be on my way. I will see you both very soon." Zazu warned.

I watched his eyes roam down my body once more than turn on his heal. I clutched onto Keaton's bare back as he reached his hand back and held me against him. Zazu walked out of the house, slamming the door behind him. 

Keaton didn't move until he knew for sure that Zazu was gone. I stood there behind him, holding my hands on his back, waiting for him to say or do something to let me know it was okay to move now. 

"We have to get out of here." Keaton snapped, turning on his heal to look at me.

"What? Why?" I panic'd.

"Zazu knows where I am now. He's not going to just let me go free. He's going to try and get me back now. We have to get out of here, tonight." Keaton said running back upstairs to the bedroom.

I grabbed my cell phone, getting ready to call Ramona as I walked upstairs behind Keaton. He was throwing clothes into a bag as I walked in with my phone pressed against my ear. I hesitated as the phone continued to ring, not hearing Ramona's voice.

Keaton walked over to me angerly, and grabbed my phone away from me. He slammed it shut, hanging up the phone then throwing it at the wall in one quick motion. I looked over to Keaton who was shaking with pure anger. 

"What the hell Keaton?" I snapped.

"Aubrey, you can't tell anybody where were going." He said.

"Ramona and River can help us." I assured him.

"Aubrey we are in this together, do you understand? Our families can't do anything about this. We need to run away, now. We can't leave any trace or Zazu will find us." Keaton said quickly.

"I'm not leaving without telling my family where i'm going Keaton." I said sternly.

"Aubrey, listen to me." He began.

"No Keaton, YOU listen to ME. Ramona and River are the only hope we have. River is the alpha, he knows many hide out spots. They can help us." I snapped back in his face.

"Go call Ramona, be quick." He growled.

---------------------------------------------------------

"Thank you so much." I said as Ramona wrapped her arms around my shoulders, pulling me into a tight hug.

"Anything for you baby sister." She smiled as she scowled over at River. 

"Fighting?" I asked.

The boys walked inside to get the bags and finish packing while Ramona and I talked about what was going on. Ramona seemed very concerned with my safety and so was I. I was more concentrated on protecting Keaton, and Keaton was focused on protecting me.

"River just had a bad day. He has a cabin out in the woods not too far from our house though. We're going to hide you guys out there until the wedding. Once you and Keaton are married, Zazu can't do anything about it. He can't do anything to Keaton." Ramona assured me.

"Come on, let's get going." River said, making me jump.

Keaton grabbed my hand and put me in the truck with Ramona. We drove in seperate vehicles in case Zazu was watching us. Ramona and I went one way, River and Keaton went a different way to throw off Zazu in case he was watching us.

"You really love him don't you?" Ramona asked, her eyes fixed on the road.

"Keaton?" I asked.

"To go through all of this trouble for him. A boy who you claimed you'd never have interest in. You really do love him, huh?" She asked.

"I really do." I sighed as we arrived at the cabin.

We made it there before the boys did. Ramona helped me grab some bags and get them into the cabin. It was cute, small. The living room was just like you'd expect, fire place, recliner chairs. The kitchen was to the right, and the bedrooms were down a hall, along with the bathroom. 

Ramona showed me to the bedroom, and started helping me unpack the clothes and other items. She helped me fold the clothes up and put them into the drawers as we made small talk about what was going on with her and River. 

"Hey." River said from the doorway. 

Keaton walked into the room, dropping his bags and walking strait over to me. He wrapped his arms around me, hugging me tightly, as he set his head on mine. He gripped onto his shirt that was still on me, and sighed in relief.

"I'm sorry I got you involved in this." He sighed.

"We're in this together Keaton." I smiled.

"We'll see you guys in the morning." Ramona smiled.
